  4. Yes mate on a private road!
    Still need a few things but no rush now as winter is on its way and it gives me more time to finish it
    When my work drops off a bit.

  5. I think it will give me white finger after 20 miles... Thinking about rubber mounting the engine. :biggrin:

  6. The only fault i found is it tends to spit back into the airbox at idle, and runs a bit lumpy but clears when you blip the throttle... prob just needs fueling ironing out.

    I have the plug and loom now to wire up the clocks etc to the st4 loom.. I spend most of the working week looking a circuit diagrams and find it hard to motivate myself to do the 851!

  8. I wish you had documented the build in pics, bit by bit! I'm impressed nonetheless and quite jealous :upyeah:

  9. My digi cam died on me Yets and my phone takes crap pics as seen in this thread.

    When i get hold of a digi cam i will post some decent pics up as the 851 is still not finished but close.

    Cam dialing is pretty easy on a 2V but on a 4V it looks a bit of a big challenge :eek: 108 108 centres!!

  12. Hi Imola, what Duc did the rev counter come from? I assume that it's an 80mm unit?

  13. I have no idea which duke it was fitted to Mate, All i know it was fitted to a race bike and is 81mm approx... All i needed to do was dremmel out a very small amount out of the bezel.

  14. sounds like mine is similar as also electric and slightly larger dia - the housing had been split to accomodate it so reverted to cable drive (whole instrument assy) from an SS for now

  16. i'm nearly there now Steve but trying not to get carried away - pulled off seat subframe and painted this week as was quite rusty but should be straight assembly now if I decide to put on road. Often think of you and your unique 'drive straight in' set up!

  17. Sounds to me like your 851 may of had different heads in the past.
    Prob 748 heads as this was a popular mod to give the 851 more power on the cheap.

  18. Does anyone know if the 888 rear hugger is the same as the 851 rear hugger??
     
    #278 Paul Train, Oct 17, 2012
  19. Fairly sure it is as they use the same swingarm. The same swingarm was also used on M900, although at some point the hugger mounting changed from brackets on the arm to thread inserts in the arm - but I think this happened for the Monster not the 888.
